Back again. Some of you may have thought that I go out every night, all night, to examin those male-female relations more closely. I am terribly sorry to dissapoint you... believe me, more then you can imagine...
I'm not saying I'm not willing. I am not saying I am not capable, oh no, I am saying I am being prevented by the State of Mississippi, and not just me, but everyone!!! There's no discrimination in these laws, oh no.
And THAT is not all. I haven't mentioned this before but OleMiss Campus is not part of City of Oxford, MS, but has a separate legal status. And you know what that means? More restrictions! We can't buy or KEEP alcohol anywhere on the Campus grounds.
The dormitories are SEPARATE (the best one is mine, Guess Hall, whose two wings, one for men and the other for women, connect in a small common room that we use together but still have to leave the ID's at the desk if we go to each other's wing).
All visitors (especially of opposite sex) have very restricted access to the host's room(s) [meaning, they can't sleep over and have to be out of the Dormitory by 1AM!].
There may be others but I can't think of them right now.
And all this applies to everyone living on Campus -- except, for fraternity and sorority buildings. They 'shouldn't' keep alcohol, and shouldn't party all night, and shouldn't sleep over, but does anyone check? Of course not! They have 'the land of their own' and I don't think the police can even enter their premises without their permition or a court order (oh, yeah! another little detail: every night we get a small visit from a friendly police(wo)man in that common room I mentioned). And they should also put fire alarms, but who cares!?
Now, I've only been here for two weeks, right? And am a foreigner so as a rule me entering a fraternity is very unlikely if not impossible, so these are only accounts of people who've actually been there, and I certainly intend to check it out.
I am not saying that's all they're doing, but when you read this article you will have to wonder who gets to party with restrictions like these?
Anyways, enough for now. Be yourselves!

Public order shall be ensured at all times. Any and every drunken behaviour at all hours of day and night shall be stopped and taken care of immediately [by arresting the drunken person]. All public shops and clubs that pore alcoholic beverages will be closed before 1AM on ordinary weeknights. On saturdays no store will be opened after 12AM (!!!) and will remain closed all through the Holy Sunday.This is in short what the laws (at least in Oxford) ought to look like. I haven't actually read them, but believe me, Police is there to remind me. And not just Oxford Police whose web adress you have over there, but also the University Police, and all other different security organizations keeping peace in this small community.
